Q:
Why does not ldd output the libraries that I have linked when generating the executable file?
I have linked the project with ATLAS library, -llapack -lf77blas -lcblas -latlas -lgfortran, and it could compile successfully. But when I use the ldd command to view the dependency libraries, the output is as follows:

Why does not it have the libatlas.so or libatlas.a? Thanks.
UPDATED:
CFLAGS = -pipe -O2 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)
CXXFLAGS = -pipe -std=c++0x -O2 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)
INCPATH = -I../../QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I../../Documents/3rdparty/include -I../../Documents/3rdparty/include/opencv2 -I../../Documents/3rdparty/include/opencv -I/usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/extern/include -I.
LINK = g++
LFLAGS = -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-rpath,/home/ubuntu/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/lib
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/home/ubuntu/Documents/3rdparty/lib/ -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -llapack -lf77blas -lcblas -latlas -lgfortran
A:
The linker is looking for .so files in the system library paths and user defined paths (like /home/ubuntu/Documents/3rdparty/lib/). These .so files are defined by -l argument. For example the -latlas corresponds to libatlas.so.
If libatlas.so file is not found then the linker will look for libatlas.a. This file is basically an ar (archive) file of all .o library files. The .a files are treated same as objects and are included inside the executable. So they do not appear in ldd command.
If you use -static argument with g++ then you force the linker to look only for .a files and then ldd returns nothing.
In order to make dynamic link to libatlas.so you need to add this file in /home/ubuntu/Documents/3rdparty/lib/.
ASSISTANT
The issue you're facing relates to the way shared and static libraries are handled in Linux during the linking process and subsequently reported by tools like `ldd`.
[sys1]
`ldd` does not list libraries linked statically in the final executable. Your executable may have linked `libatlas` statically.
[end sys1]
[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The problem here involves the linking process and how it affects the visibility of linked libraries when using tools like `ldd` to inspect dependencies.
*Reflection:*
"What reasons could cause `ldd` not to show certain linked libraries? Am I missing something about the nature of static vs. dynamic linking in Linux?"
*Creative Perspective:*
"Is there a pattern in how other projects manage static vs dynamic linking? Perhaps there’s a standard best practice that might be overlooked or misconfigured?"
**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
Given the behavior of `ldd`, which displays shared (dynamic) library dependencies, a static library wouldn't appear in its output. The configuration and directory paths you've included in your build process suggest `libatlas` might be linked as a static library.
*Reflection:*
"Am I assuming anything incorrectly about how libraries are configured? How are my current make configurations affecting the search paths and linking decisions during compilation?"
*Creative Perspective:*
"Could adjusting environment variables or linker options reveal previously unseen dependencies? What configurational anomaly might lead to this unexpected behavior?"
**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. `libatlas` is linked statically, so it doesn't appear in `ldd` output. (Confidence: 0.9, Creative: 0.3)
2. The library paths do not include a dynamic version of `libatlas. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
3. The dynamic library is misplaced or not installed system-wide. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.5)
4. Compiler optimizations that include certain libraries reduce redundancy, making some links appear static. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.4)
5. The executable is compiled in such a way that it embeds `libatlas`. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.3)
6. Incorrect symbolic links could lead the linker to use static versions when not intended. (Confidence: 0.4, Creative: 0.6)
7. The build script or `Makefile` accidentally uses a static library due to environmental variable settings. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.5)
8. A fallback mechanism in the compiler switches to static when shared is unavailable. (Confidence: 0.4, Creative: 0.4)
9. There's a version mismatch between the header files and installed libraries causing fallback to static linking. (Confidence: 0.3, Creative: 0.6)
10. Insufficient library permissions prevent the linker from accessing dynamic libraries, defaulting to static. (Confidence: 0.2, Creative: 0.7)
*Reflection:*
"Are the paths and configurations conducive to my hypotheses? Is static linking logical for `libatlas` in this context?"
*Creative Perspective:*
"What if I try linking with specific flags to force dynamic linking? How can I manipulate my current setup to explore these theoretical pathways?"
**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:*
Anticipate the challenges in testing the execution flags and directory configurations.
*Reflection:*
"What might happen if I forcibly include or exclude certain flags, and how might changes reflect in `ldd` outputs? Which diagnostics could prove useful if linking results are unchanged?"
*Creative Perspective:*
"Could hybrid approaches that utilize both static and dynamic linking provide unexpected insights to resolve dependencies? How can tweaking resource paths in isolation yield more information?"
[end sys2]
[sys1]
To ensure `libatlas` is dynamically linked, check if `libatlas.so` exists in the intended library path and invoke the linker with specific flags to prefer dynamic libraries. This might involve adjusting environment variables or library path configurations.
If only static versions are available, include their paths and link them deliberately, and explore acquiring or setting up `libatlas.so` within your environment.
